Motorcycle and rider, Los Angeles to Panama [Paperback]

William Carroll (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 2, 1995

A trip every biker will envy. Over 7000 miles which included being stuck in the middle of rivers, over the Continental Divide in Central America, lost in jungles of Mexico, the lovely motion picture actress, fed by the Mayor of a town so small it had no access road, a Christmas party, riding the rail tracks, a coastal launch around road-less mountains, across a raging river in a dugout, riding in the banana plantation's box car, and finally arrive at the Panama Canal where a ferry carried bike and rider the final distance. Over 200 pictures of lands and peoples seldom seen in such detail. A book every rider should have to enjoy forever.

Editorial Reviews

Review

A sociological report on the fine people and their lives in a world seldom seen. Plus the nearly 200 fine photographs that bring the entire trip to life. Which, when it ends at the Canal, is capped by a friendly policeman who considers Carroll crazy for having ridden so far. This book is a real keeper for motorcycle lovers everywhere. --William Carroll

About the Author

So who's Carroll? Just a very tired man who had failed in business, missed a live-elsewhere wife and bought a BSA single in the crate so he could put it together himself. Then add surplus ammunition cases to carry cargo and early one morning thump his way out of Los Angeles to head south on a voyage of total redemption. Here's inspiration for every biker and more.
